Hot melt glue gun failure

What goes wrong with such guns? Probably overheated and then the resistor block inside goes skew and blocks the melt flow path. While molten but switched off , a rod through the nozzle hits something solid , probably ceramic of a wire-wound. When powered, pushing a hot-melt rod in the entry hole, little exudes from the nozzle, requiring greater force than usual, outer housing seems to have expanded a bit as well. When I get a new one , this one will have a PM, but in the meantime , if anyone has been inside one before.

Fixing a Jubilee clip, while hot, around the nose seems to have fixed it, presumably the heater block realigned itself, but time for a new one anyway.

Any of the original electrolytics or paper caps. found in an Ultra Coronation Twin radio. Not to be confused with a Jubilee clip, which is a worm-drive hose clip.

I prefer the simplest one, without any moving parts, where you just push the glue stick through the barrel.

t,

Here we would say "hose clamp" not "hose clip."
